EV charger installation in Chichester

What decides a charger job in Chichester

Where the car parks, what the supply and the board will take, and who has to be told. These are the local facts behind those three questions in Chichester.

Inside the walls, and outside them

A Georgian townhouse inside the Roman street plan usually parks on the street, which makes it a public-network case rather than a home-charger one; where there is a rear yard or a garage off a lane, the run from a front-of-house board to the back is the survey’s main question, and on a listed house the position and the route go to the conservation officer first. Outside the walls the job is the straightforward one: house or garage wall by the drive, a short run, a day.

Battery storage in Chichester asks the same inside-and-outside question of a battery, and electricians in Chichester is the same team if the board needs work first.

The supply, the shade and the sizing

A car is the largest single load most houses will ever add — our model allows 1,800 kWh a year — and on the shaded plots around the city the array is often smaller than the house could use, so the battery earns more and the car’s overnight charging is best done on a cheap-rate tariff. Solar panels in Chichester is the roof side; sizing solar, a battery and a car as one system is the method; the charging point itself is notified to SSEN with the certificate.

Two things people in Chichester ask before they book

“The house is listed — can we have a charger at all?”

Usually, on a wall that is not the principal elevation, but the position and the cable route can need consent. We put a drawing to the conservation officer before we quote; that costs you nothing and settles it.

“We park in a residents’ bay on the street — anything you can do?”

Not a home charger: it needs your own off-street space and a cable across the pavement is not the answer. The public network is the route, and we will say so in the first call.

Questions we get asked in Chichester

Do you install EV chargers in Chichester?

Yes — twenty-one road miles from our Washington base. A dedicated circuit, protection at the board, a tested and certificated installation and the notification to Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks, by the electricians who do our solar and battery work.

Which operator is told about a charger in Chichester?

Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks — PO18 and PO19 are SSEN territory, unlike the coast east of Worthing. We make the notification as part of the job.
